Fishing reel, fishing information display apparatus, and fishing information display system

Abstract

A fishing reel has a reel unit that is mounted on the fishing rod, a spool that is rotatably attached to the reel unit, a tension detector that detects tension applied to the said fishing line, and a communication portion that transmits to a fishing information display apparatus data of the tension applied to the fishing line detected by the tension detector. The fishing information display apparatus is provided externally of a fishing reel, and receives data communicated from the fishing reel. The fishing information display apparatus includes a body member, a display portion provided in the body member, a communication portion that receives from the fishing reel data of the tension applied to the fishing line, and a controller that is displays on the display portion the data of tension received from the fishing reel. A navigator away from an angler can certainly have information of the fishing situation.

1. A fishing information display apparatus provided externally of a fishing reel that is adapted to be attached to a fishing rod, the fishing information display apparatus being configured to receive data communicated from the fishing reel, the fishing information display apparatus comprising:
 a body member; 
 a display portion provided in the body member; 
 a communication portion receiving tension data from the fishing reel of tension applied to the fishing line, and the communication portion receiving rotational speed data of a spool of the fishing reel; and 
 a controller displaying on the display portion the tension data received from the fishing reel, and the controller displaying on the display portion the rotational speed data of the spool. 
 
     
     
       2. A fishing information display apparatus provided externally of a fishing reel that is adapted to be attached to a fishing rod, the fishing information display apparatus being configured to receive data communicated from the fishing reel, the fishing information display apparatus comprising:
 a body member; 
 a display portion provided in the body member; 
 a communication portion receiving tension data from the fishing reel of tension applied to the fishing line, and the communication portion receiving from the fishing reel water depth data of a terminal tackle attached to fishing line when the terminal tackle is submerged; and 
 a controller displaying on the display portion the tension data received from the fishing reel, and the controller displaying on the display portion the water depth data of the terminal tackle. 
 
     
     
       3. The fishing information display apparatus as set forth in  claim 2 , wherein
 the communication portion receives data from a fish finder that is provided externally of the fishing information display apparatus, and 
 the controller displays on the display portion the data from the fish finder. 
 
     
     
       4. The fishing information display apparatus as set forth in  claim 3 , further comprising
 a fish finder portion that obtains fish location data, 
 wherein the controller displays on the display portion the fish location data from the fish finder portion. 
 
     
     
       5. A fishing information display system, comprising:
 a plurality of fishing reels each being attached to a fishing rod to wind and to release a fishing line, each of the plurality of fishing reels including
 a reel unit being mounted on the fishing rod, 
 a spool being rotatably attached to the reel unit, the fishing line being adapted to be wound around the spool, 
 a handle being provided in the reel unit to rotate the spool, 
 a tension detector detecting tension applied to the fishing line, and 
 a first communication portion transmitting tension data applied to the fishing line detected by the tension detector; and 
 
 a fishing information display apparatus being provided externally of the plurality of fishing reels, and receiving data communicated from the plurality of fishing reels, the fishing information display apparatus including
 a body member, 
 a display portion being provided in the body member, 
 a second communication portion receiving tension data from the plurality of fishing reels of tension applied to a respective fishing line, and 
 a controller displaying on the display portion the tension data received from the plurality of fishing reels.
